G is for Gene and Gown...

I splurged last year and bought a yard of silk dotted taffeta that I have been hoarding ever since. I finally decided on the gown to make with it. I started with Vine Nowell's Absolute Drama jacket.

Then topped (bottomed) it off with the skirt from Night at the Opera. I loved this skirt, but never wanted to make the bustier - I dislike grommetted backs.

The nicest thing about the skirt is the great train!

Should I add on rhinestone buttons, or leave the jacket as is to show off jewelry?

Thanks for the suggestions! Rhinestones it is, once I decide on a size.

Beautiful color and handiwork. I think sparkly buttons would look nice.

Hi Bryan,
Definitely add the sparkly buttons. I think this design needs some oomph. Great earrings and a bracelet can finish the look. The gown design is very lovely, btw.
